style guide enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``W503`` is not PEP 8 compliant,
you should tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+### Slices
+
+PEP 8 [recommends](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#whitespace-in-expressions-and-statements)
+to treat ``:`` in slices as a binary operator with the lowest priority, and to
+leave an equal amount of space on either side, except if a parameter is omitted
+(e.g. ``ham[1 + 1 :]``). It also states that for extended slices, both ``:``
+operators have to have the same amount of spacing, except if a parameter is
+omitted (``ham[1 + 1 ::]``). *Black* enforces these rules consistently.

### Parentheses
Some parentheses are optional in the Python grammar. Any expression can
- `for (...) in (...):`
- `assert (...), (...)`
- `from X import (...)`
+- assignments like:
+ - `target = (...)`
+ - `target: type = (...)`
+ - `some, *un, packing = (...)`
+ - `augmented += (...)`
In those cases, parentheses are removed when the entire statement fits
in one line, or if the inner expression doesn't have any delimiters to

## Change Log
-### 18.4a3 (unreleased)
+### 18.5a0 (unreleased)
+
+* slices are now formatted according to PEP 8 (#178)
+
+* parentheses are now also managed automatically on the right-hand side
+ of assignments and return statements (#140)
+
+* math operators now use their respective priorities for delimiting multiline
+ expressions (#148)
+
+* empty parentheses in a class definition are now removed (#145, #180)
+
+* fixed an invalid trailing comma sometimes left in imports (#185)
+
+* fixed non-deterministic formatting when multiple pairs of removable parentheses
+ were used (#183)
+
+* fixed not splitting long from-imports with only a single name
+
+* fixed Python 3.6+ file discovery by also looking at function calls with
+ unpacking. This fixed non-deterministic formatting if trailing commas
+ where used both in function signatures with stars and function calls
+ with stars but the former would be reformatted to a single line.
+
+
+### 18.4a4
+
+* don't populate the cache on `--check` (#175)
+
+
+### 18.4a3
* added a "cache"; files already reformatted that haven't changed on disk
won't be reformatted again (#109)
* fixed missing splits of ternary expressions (#141)
+
### 18.4a2
* fixed parsing of unaligned standalone comments (#99, #112)
